38 weeks!

Weight gain: 23 lbs
Baby weight: 7+lbs, 20+inches
Sleep: It depends on the night. Sometimes awesome, sometimes terrible. The heartburn and trips to the bathroom are becoming the "norm" though.
Best moments this week: On Monday, my friends at work threw a surprise baby shower for Mike and I. Cat came to me around 10:30 and asked if they could take me to lunch, since the baby thing just kinda "snuck up on them". Of course I was excited (free lunch with my friends, yay) but I was bummed that Mike wouldn't be there...
As usual for Monday mornings, Mike got up at 4:30 and hit the road back to Charlotte... or SO I THOUGHT!! He woke up, packed his things, said goodbye, took his lunch and left the house... at 5 am. Even making sure to point out that he was running late and "had to go".
So... when we got to Firebirds.. they had an awesome basket with Dr. Browns bottles (that we needed!!), a baby toy and a gift card to Babies R Us. They'd decorated the table and got me a Mom to Be ribbon- too cute! They put an empty chair next to me to signify Mike... and we started chatting.
A minute or two later MIKE WALKS IN!! He'd secretly planned with the girls from work to stay in town and surprise me for the shower!! He got up at 4:30 and drove to Starbucks to work until shower time.
It meant the world to me to have him there!  Everyone from work loved meeting him and of course, adores him as much as I do.
Added bonus- he stayed Monday night too! And got up at 4:30 Tuesday morning to drive home!
Movement: Karate chop... Judy Chop... Ningy Stars... I'd swear in the past 48 hours, this kid has decided he is going to be a martial artist. We go back and forth between periods of complete rest and periods of absolute craziness
Cravings: Food. All food really. Tacos, Pizza, Lemonade, Cheesticks, SteakUms, Shrimp Scampi.
Labor signs: None yet- we'll find out Friday if we've made any more progress! We've made a deal that he will not come see us until Mike gets here.
Breakdowns: Hmmm. I can't think of one I've had this week.
Belly Button: It is very flat
What I miss: Wearing my wedding ring : (
Looking forward to: MEETING THIS BABY!!! It's been a long time coming. I'd like to meet him as soon as possible.
Milestones:  His room is almost finished :)
